Who would buy a 29K Altima? I wouldn't! But its a sexy car.

Big money but I would love to run around in one of those. I looked at the 3.5SE when I bought my MSP. My girlfriend runs around in an 04 Maxima SE and with that powertrain in a smaller car it must be quick.

Actually the Altima is just afew inches shorter then the Maxi. Its still a big car. I think the Altima would of been nicer the size of the Mazda 6.

nice... but nothing too special about it....

yeah..I think the altima is a little too big..but still, I still love all the SE models on altima or maxima.

the shifter on the pic in the SE-R look like a truck shifter...or maybe it's just the pic or me?!

It looks to high to be in a car.

Needs to be dropped in the front!

The answer to that is the Nismo coilover lkit.

wtf does a consumption gauge tell you?

it looks like one of those "real time" mpg gauges in bmw's. the more you stomp on the gas, the lower mpg it'll read. kinda useless if you ask me.

[Swerny]

I agree with you guys, sweet car, but it's just too damn big.
$30 K is a lot of cashola as well.

[Roywhitep5]

nice but for a couple thousand more, one could get an evo mr

[MazdaDryvr]

hmm, i'd be in a WRX first.

[protegeV]

damn, why they gotta mess around...screw the Z gauge cluster, they should put the 287hp engine in it...(hand)

[hueman]

for the price, you're in rx8, evo, sti, 350z, r32, s2k, legacy, mustang mach 1, GTO territory. not a pretty place to be if you're going to push a performance car. a FWD performance car.

[protegeV]

the only car you listed that is comparable to this one is the Legacy, and i personally would MUCH rather have a LGT than an Altime SE-R.

[protegeV]

it does look mean as hell though :D

[Chiguy_2002]

How about a Mazdaspeed 6?? That may be sweet!! (2thumbs) (omg)

[azian6er]

i came inches away from buying a royal blue altima with bose/leather hid 3.5 se but i chose the msp instead. 8k cheaper too.

i guess when i think of a badge like "se-r" i think "performance," which this car is clearly trying to do. but you're right; the other cars i've listed are mostly hardcore performance vehicles. but can you say the r32 isn't a better car than that? after all, the r32 gets its licks from the evos and stis and srt-4s because it's a "compromise" car... the legacy of course is better--better looking, and i'd rather have that engine... don't know if it's faster in a straight line, but i was seriously thinking about trading my evo in for the legacy.. droool..... :)

but a mazdaspeed 6... omghi2u.... (upbum)

[Phoenix5]

I don't know for that money,I'd either get a WRX w/ mods,an Evo,a 350Z or save up 3K more and get an STI.
